I've posted to this newsgroup a few times but have yet to receive any
replies. I suppose I'm posting this article just fo the sake of it.
Naturally, my problem has to do with Khoros, which is a very nice system
for the front-end user but not for the deep-end programmer/installer.

Okay here goes. I've installed khoros and parts of it (all the vroutines)
work. The other parts (xvroutines, and therefore the bulk of Khoros) which
use X libraries fall over hideously. Progress so far, I can compile the
the xvroutines, xprism2, cantata, conductor, etc but cannot run them
(segmentation fault, core dump). Now, I compile for example, a very simple
xvroutine such as <xvviewer> (display an ascii file) with 
CDEBUGFLAG=-g so that I can debug the produced object file. Unfortunately,
when I try to run "dbx", I get 

Reading ### symbols
Segmentation fault

How I can I start debugging a simple xvroutine (or are there even simpler
xvroutines), when the debugging tool I want to use fails? If I can't
trace the step by step execution of a routine then I can't diagnose the
location of the bug.

So what do you others out there suggest? Even if it's the smallest of
help, please tell me. If you can refer me to someone please tell me. I 
would like to believe that some communication/community help does take 
place here and that it's not just one person broadcasting to many.



I've seen many other postings from others experiencing problems with the
installation of Khoros, which is a big piece of software; and judging by
the number, I suggest creating a newsgroup just for Khoros installation
or at least a dedicated FAQ.

before, called on the expertise of others, read previous irrelevant
solutions on this group, severely exhausted!)
